Hi everyone, Debs here with a project using some beautiful new WOW! stamps and Foils to decorate a cute little papier mache box in vintage style! If you want to take a look at any of my other projects, take a look at my blog here.


This is the finished trinket box, which started life as a basic little papier mache box bought for about 50p! If you want to jump to the end of the post there is a shopping list of what you will need - or if you can't wait you can jump straight to the WOW! website here!.






I started by giving the box a coat of diluted PVA glue to seal it and give a nice surface to paint on. I mixed about 50/50 PVA to water - you need to stir for a while to get a smooth consistency. Once you're happy with it, use a good paintbrush to give the box a coat inside and out, then leave to dry on a craft mat (I did this out in the sunshine so it took less than half an hour to dry while I enjoyed sunning myself :-)


Once the PVA is dry, give the box a couple of coats of emulsion - …

Hi everyone, Debs here again, with a tag in gorgeous spring colours!  The month of March is all about pastels, and I chose 'Inspiration' as my theme for this tag, as so much of my inspiration comes from nature, and I had a ball making this project!
Step 1 Cut a 20cm x 10cm tag and shape the top (I used a scalloped template). Use Spellbinders Petite Rose Border die to dry emboss the top edge of the tag. Use the same die to both cut and emboss the lower edge of the tag. 
Step 2 Replace the die on the tag, and use it as a stencil to apply Tattered Rose and Bundled Sage Distress inks with a blending brush. Stamp the main body of the tag with Bundled Sage using the WOW! Flowers background stamp. Colour tint the edges of the tag with Bundled Sage. Punch a hole in the top of the tag and fix an eyelet to the hole, tie pink and green organza ribbon through the eyelet.
Step 3 Using the Spellbinders die set, cut and dry emboss both the heart and the button shapes, then stencil them using the s…

Hi everyone, Debs here with my project using the amazing Flourescent colours.  When I first saw these colours I thought I would need sunglasses whenever I looked at them! The colours in the jars are deceptive though, as once they are embossed on card, they are actually quite a lot softer than they first appear.


I chose to make a side stepper card in black, to really make those colours stand out.  I matted and layered the main panel of the card using a lovely bright blue background card to pick out the colours used in the main images.

I used the WOW! Build a Butterfly stamp set and stamped 3 butterflies, with the outline of the butterflies in Versamark on white card, then embossed using Flourescent Blue.  I stamped the pattern on the butterfly wings in Flourescent Green and used an embossing pen to ink the buttefly bodies and then embossed with Flourescent Pink.

The large flowers were stamped on white card using Versamark and the How Does Your GardenGrow stamp set, then embossed using…
